Fix vllm break:
1. [Enable cuda graph for deepepHT, 5.3% throughput improvement, 4.4%
TTFT improvement] (https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/29558)
Fix Solution: Add the now-necessary `all2all_backend` parameter. The
impact of this parameter on the original `set_splitting_ops_for_v1`
implementation is only that graph mode is disabled in `vllm` if
`deepep_high_throughput` is enabled; it has no effect on the
`vllm-ascend` logic.
2.[Migrate legacy ViT MultiHeadAttention to new MMEncoderAttention
interface ] (https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/30684)
Fix Solution: The reason why the GPU does not need to convert qkv to 3D
is that the GPU's flash_attention operator is compatible with 3D and 4D
(b s h d and s b ( h d)), but the NPU's flash_attention_unpad operator
only supports 3D (s b ( h d)). Therefore, we need to introduce the
reshape_qkv_to_3d operation.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
[Kthena](https://github.com/volcano-sh/kthena) is a Kubernetes-native
LLM inference platform that transforms how organizations deploy and
manage Large Language Models in production. Built with declarative model
lifecycle management and intelligent request routing, it provides high
performance and enterprise-grade scalability for LLM inference
workloads.
The platform extends Kubernetes with purpose-built Custom Resource
Definitions (CRDs) for managing LLM workloads, supporting multiple
inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, Triton) and advanced serving patterns
like prefill-decode disaggregation.
This pr added a example on deloying llm on Ascend Kubernetes clusters.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Add a control to enable the exponential distribution operator
overlapping with model executing (default is OFF due to this feature
might not perform well on MOE models, i.e. For Qwen3-30B).
Enable async exponential overlapping will provides performance
improvement.
Also, overlapping the exponential operator with module execution can
cover the performance drop introduced by AICPU-version's exponential
operator.
**UPDATE**: (12/12)
Now our overlap will use the same stream that introduced in this pr:
#4908 .
We move the `do_async_exponential` from `model_runner_v1.py` to
`sampler.py`.
Now we are using `additional_config` to enable async exponential:
Add `"enable_async_exponential": 1` in `addition_config`.
Now we **ONLY** support default exponential/AI-CPU exponential, the old
`"enable_async_exponential": 2` option has been aborted to keep
consistency.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
**YES**, added a new `additional_config` : `"enable_async_exponential":
1`.
When `enable_async_exponential` is set to 1, we enable the async
exponential and overlap with model runner.
When `enable_async_exponential` is set to 0 (default is 0), we disable
the async exponential, but exponential will still running on a different
stream using stream introduced in #4908.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR introduces the initial integration of **UCM (Unified Cache
Management)** into the vllm-ascend distributed KV-cache system.
Specifically, it adds:
- A new `UCMConnector` implementation under the distributed KV-transfer
framework.
- Support for offloading KV-cache blocks to external UCM backends (DRAM
/ NFS / Localdisk), depending on UCM configuration).
- Integration with vLLM V1 KV connector interface, including metadata
handling and role registration.
**Why it is needed:**
- UCM provides a unified, high-performance storage layer for KV-cache
externalization.
- This enables vllm-ascend to support out-of-core KV-cache workloads,
improve memory efficiency, and leverage hardware-accelerated storage
paths (RDMA / NFS / hybrid modes).
- This connector is a required component to allow future work on
multi-node inference + UCM-based scaling.
---
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, but limited:
- A new `kv_connector=UCMConnector` option becomes available through the
configuration interface.
- When selected, vllm-ascend workers may initialize UCM and offload
KV-cache blocks externally.
- No default behaviors are changed. Users must explicitly enable this
connector.
This PR does **not** modify:
- existing APIs,
- default execution paths,
- model runner behavior,
- user workflow unless `UCMConnector` is configured.
